A WOMAN has hit back at trolls who claim she is a ‘desperate cougar’ and ‘groomer’ for marrying her sons’ friend.
Tanya, 44, met her now husband Josue, 26, when he was just 19 as he was her sons’ close friend.
But the pair soon began to develop feelings for each other after breaking up with their significant others.
Tanya told Love Don’t Judge: “We met through my oldest two sons, people always judge our relationship.
“‘This is lowkey giving cougar desperation vibes,’ ‘Is that your mum?’ ‘She had to pay him to stay,’ they call me a groomer.”;
Josue admitted that he fancied Tanya as soon as he saw her.
He revealed: “The first thing that came to my mind was ‘She’s hot.'”;
But it wasn’t the same for Tanya, who found him ‘loud and annoying’ at first.
A year after breaking up with their previous partners, the pair began but it was a rocky start.
Josue said his emotional immaturity got in the way as he acted ‘toxic’ and would check through her phone.
While Tanya is already a mum-of-four, Josue has no children and plans to get his wife pregnant.
“She’s twice my age and I want to get her pregnant,”; he said adamantly.
Josue said his relationship with her sons was still the same and they regularly hang out.
“I don’t tell him what to do I don’t mummy him,”; he added.
For those who troll the couple over the age gap, Tanya has one thing to say.
“When we got together, he was 21 and I was 38, at 21 years old you’re able to drink , you’re able to gamble, you’re able to go to war for your country why are you not able to love who you want?”; she asked.
The pair admitted things haven’t always been easy but that they ‘love each other a lot’ and have no plans to change.
The video was a hit on Love Don’t Judge’s YouTube channel and people were quick to share their thoughts in the comment section.
One person wrote: “That was her sons’ friend. What a mess!!”;
Another commented: “If they are happy, I wish them the best. She’s not a predator.”;
“Nice couple and very normal. It’s refreshing to see people on here like them. Much success for their ,”; penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “I would never with somebody as young as my sons are.”;
“‘I felt like I was dating a teenager,’ says the woman interested in a 19yr old that she got with a year later,”; claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “If they’re happy, good for them. But I don’t know if he’s ready for parenting...”;
